Tastes

Nose intially smacked of nail polish remover, so…. Not good. But…. Let it sit for a few minutes and turned from a pumpkin into something magical. Vanilla nose, creamy mouthfeel, and an perfectly cinnamon finish.

I remember having this before and absolutely loving it. Tonight, 10/4, it’s still really good but not like I remember.

Bizarrely sweet and savory at the same time. I really enjoy it. Even as hot as it is, it doesn’t come across that way.

The nose is like jamming my schnozz in a family size bag of original Skittles. In other words - sweet! But that’s something I’m a fan of, so bodes well. Palate is all those fruity flavors mixing around. But, it’s a sort of uninteresting sweetness, as if someone dosed my glass with a few drops of simple syrup. Not bad, per se, but seems unoriginal. Finish is again a pleasant, if boring, sweetness. I could drink alot of this too quickly and without a second thought. The problem is that I like a little challenge in my sip.

Sipping this is a real experience in contradictions hot and spicy yet sweet and smooth. I don’t quite understand it! Makes for a decent neat drink. Not great but good enough to really enjoy.

So tasty, so smooth. From nose through palate to finish. So glad I found this and even more glad I pulled the trigger on this bottle!

The nose does not at all belie the rush of delightful flavors that hit the palate and linger throughout the finish.
